    We have Anza open on Sunday's in Palmy, but no workshop open. Anza are also a secondhand car dealer, so I doubt they'd be open if that wasn't propping up the motorcycle side.

    Personally I wouldn't care if they were closed and I'd fit around that. I'm all for staff having a life away from work!

    I quite like playing golf, riding my motorcycle with others. They have the whole weekend off, and don't get Monday's Tues's off as they're not in retail.

    So nothing to do with customers then, more of a personal thing

    Absolutely 100% about my mental health and well being yes. Some fun and enjoyment in life with good friends is important to all those that have them.

    My customers all have my home phone number (I don't and never have owned a cell phone) and are most welcome to call me 24/ for help or assistance, but be fucked if I'm gonna be here for more than the hours I already put it.

    fuck yea lets have the bike shops open 24/7 so we can drag our arse out of bed at 11 am on sunday, have a mooch about in the shop, get a free coffee, look at all the things we want, then go home and have a look on ebay to see how much we can save, it doesn't suit everybody to have monday off instead of sunday, motorcycle shops arnt like supermarkets or briscos where you can have a few teenagers running the place. most bike shops are open 6 days a week anyway what could you possibly need on sunday that you couldnt buy on saturday

    its a tradition called shabbat, (in Israel and Islamic countries this day applies to Saturday or Fridays )
    also called the Lords Day, people used to go to church, eat roast and spend time with the family

    but sooner or later we all work around the clock every day of the year.....spending time with friends and family pffft how quaint

    We my thoughts are that you dont need key staff there every hour your open. Use some cheap part timers and only have the sales floor open on Sundays.

    if i go with all my non knowledge to a bike shop i want some knowledgeable man or women at hand to explain all the questions i have and the questions i have not thought off.

    i would not want some cheap as geezer hanging about trying to sell me gear that is supposed to keep me alive. I would want key staff providing excellent service.

    really, whats wrong with giving people Sunday off?

    no one can be so desperate to shop!
